Slipping Away

[Intro: Mariah Carey sample]

Time after time I reach for you

Where is the boy that you used to be?

[Verse 1]

I keep on reachin' and I

I keep on tryin'

But you never even hold me

And it seems like you don't know me, baby

Keep on yearning and I (And I)

I guess I'm learning

That it's just a losing fight

'Cause there's no passion in your eyes

[Chorus 1]

So far, so far

You're slipping away, away

You're slipping away from the life and the love we made

Baby, I'm so afraid

So far, so far

You're slipping away-ay-ay

You're sipping right out of my grasp

And you're fading fast it seems

You know you're slipping away from me

[Verse 2]

I keep denyin' that our

Our love is dyin'

But it's all a big charade

And it's a fruitless game to play

I can't remember when you

You last were tender

And it's always touch and go

The silence chills me to the bone

[Chorus]

So far, so far

You're slipping away, away

You're slipping away from the life and the love we made

Baby, I'm so afraid

So far, so far

You're slipping away-ay-ay

You're sipping right out of my grasp

And you're fading fast it seems

You know you're slipping away from me

[Bridge]

Time after time I reach for you

Try and I try, but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be?

Baby, you're slippin' away from me

Time after time I reach for you

Try and I try, but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be?

Baby, you're slipping away from me

[Chorus]

So far, so far

You're slipping away, away

You're slipping away from the life and the love we made

Baby, I'm so afraid

So far, so far

You're slipping away-ay-ay

You're sipping right out of my grasp

And you're fading fast it seems

You know you're slipping away from me

[Bridge]

Time after time I reach for you

Try and I try, but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be?

Baby, you're slippin' away from me

[Outro]

Time after time I reach for you

Try and I try, but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be?

Baby, you're slippin' away from me

Time after time I reach for you

Try and I try, but you're so aloof

Where is the boy that you used to be?

Baby, you're slippin' away from me
